Oppgave I
TRANS 1110
Utlevert på forelesning 17. januar
Innlevering 7. februar kl 14
Alle oppgavene skal besvares. Besvarelsen leveres som gruppeoppgave etter avtale på
forelesning 17.01.
Oppgave A: Alice Walker’s tekst ”Dear Joanna” (Tekst A vedlagt) skal i norsk versjon inn i
ukebladet KK. Foran selve teksten skal det være en introduksjon på max 10 linjer – som
introduserer Alice Walker, og forbereder leseren på teksten. Innledningen skal altså
inneholde noen linjer om tekstens intensjon.
Din oppgave er å lage en god innledning på max 10 linjer, og en oversettelse av ”Dear
Joanna” ut fra oppdraget over.
Oppgave B:
Tekst B (vedlagt) er et utdrag fra EU-rekommandasjonen om e-valg. Denne skal oversettes til
norsk. Målet med oversettelsen er at den skal publiseres, og benyttes som grunnlagsmateriale
for en komité som skal gi en anbefaling når det gjelder muligheten for e-valg i Norge.
Oppgave C:
Gjør kort rede for de to teksttypene i tekstene fra A og B, deres genre og deres
kommunikative funksjon, både som utgangstekst og som oversettelse. Gjør deretter kort rede
for forskjellene i oversettelsesmessige utfordringer i de to tekstene. Benytt eksempler fra
tekstene i redegjørelsen: leksikalske, terminologiske, syntaktiske og kohesive (tekstbindende).
Oppgave C skal være på maks 1500 ord.
Tekst A:
Dear Joanna
[Sometime during the early seventies I was asked to write a letter to an imaginary young
black woman, giving her some sense of my own experiences and telling her things she might
need to know.
I wrote a long letter, which I sent off to the person who asked for it (I no longer recall who
this was), but then discovered I wanted to say even more.]
Dear Joanna:
Forgive me for writing again so soon.
I realize you are busy reading the words of all your other sisters who also love you, but you
have been constantly on my mind and each day I think of new things to share with you.
Today I wanted to tell you about beauty.
In you, there is beauty like a rock.
So distilled, so unshatterable, so ageless, it will attract great numbers of people who will
attempt,almost as an exercise of will (and of no more importance to them than an exercise), to
break it. They will try ignoring you, flattering you, joining you, buying you, simply to afford
themselves the opportunity of finding the one crack in your stone of beauty by which they
may enter with their tools of destruction. Often you will be astonished that, while they pursue
their single-minded effort to do this, they do not seem to see your sorrow face (sorrowing
because some of them will have come to you in the disguise of friends, even sisters) or note
the quavering of your voice, or the tears of vulnerability in your eyes.
To such people, your color, your sex, yourself make you an object. But an object, strangely,
perversely, with a soul. A soul.
It is your soul they want.
They will want to crack it out of the rock and wear it somewhere – not inside them, where it
might do them good, but about them – like for example, a feather through their hair, or a scalp
dangling from their belt. As frightening as this is, it has always been so.
Your mother and father, your grandparents, their parents, all have had your same beauty like a
rock, and all have been pursued, often hunted down like animals, because of it.
Perhaps some grew tired of resisting, and in weariness relinquished the stone that was their
life. But most resisted to the end.
The end, for them, being merely you. Your life. Which is not an end.
That resistance is also your legacy.
Inner beauty, an irrepressible music, certainly courage to say No or Yes, dedication to one’s
own Gods, affection for one’s own spirit(s), a simplicity of approach to life, will survive all of
us, through your will. You are, perhaps, the last unconquered resident on this earth.
And must live, in any case, as if it must be so.

COUNCIL OF EUROPE
COMMITTEE OF MINISTERS
Recommendation Rec(2004)11
of the Committee of Ministers to member states on legal, operational and
technical standards for e-voting
(Adopted by the Committee of Ministers on 30 September 2004

….
Recommends that the governments of member states, where they are already using,
or are considering using, e-voting comply, subject to paragraph iv. below, with
paragraphs i. to iii. below, and the standards and requirements on the legal,
operational and technical aspects of e-voting, as set out in the Appendices to the
present Recommendation:
i. e-voting shall respect all the principles of democratic elections and referendums. Evoting shall be as reliable and secure as democratic elections and referendums
which do not involve the use of electronic means. This general principle
encompasses all electoral matters, whether mentioned or not in the Appendices;
ii. the interconnection between the legal, operational and technical aspects of evoting, as set out in the Appendices, has to be taken into account when applying the
Recommendation;
iii. member states should consider reviewing their relevant domestic legislation in the
light of this Recommendation;
iv. the principles and provisions contained in the Appendices to this Recommendation
do not, however, require individual member states to change their own domestic
voting procedures which may exist at the time of the adoption of this
Recommendation, and which can be maintained by those member states when evoting is used, as long as these domestic voting procedures comply with all the
principles of democratic elections and referendums;
